I have posted this before and just wanted to remind the list since flu
shots--or the lack thereof--seem to be of interest.
Oscillo (short for Oscillococcinum) is a homeopathic remedy by Boiron
that you take upon the first sign of coming down with the flu. As meds
go, this is a fairly inexpensive solution. A six-pack vial will treat
two people and costs $16-$18. Most drugstores or pharmacies now carry
Oscillo. A blurb on the website states that in clinical studies 63% of
people who take Oscillo will show clear improvement in 48 hours. I
guess it isn't going to work for everyone but I can share that I have
successfully treated myself (twice) and my husband with Oscillo in the
past. Our flu lasted 24-48 hours tops.
